Privacy Risk Summit 2017 – Highlights

More than 250 privacy professionals gathered in the heart of San Francisco this week to discuss the challenges they face in managing emerging privacy risks and share strategies for success. They enjoyed a packed day of inspiring panels, expert breakout sessions and, of course, networking to acquire new ideas and practical advice to take back to the office.

This year a special focus was given to the impending EU GDPR, as the compliance deadline is less than one year away.

The Conference was full of great networking opportunities too.

Our sponsors for the event were available throughout the day to provide solution demos or to have a quick conversation. High level overview of these important solutions: HyTrust – making private, public and hybrid cloud infrastructure more trustworthy; MediaPro – award-winning privacy awareness content aligned to the highest standards of the GDPR; RADAR – breach guidance & decision-support software to simplify incident response & compliance with breach notification laws; and eSentire – managed detection and response, protecting you from the threats that other technologies miss.

Lunch was sponsored by Anonos and conference partner Women in Security and Privacy (WISP) provided a lunchtime gathering where attendees and speakers came together to network and learn about upcoming events.

Our customers, current employees, and past employees all came together to celebrate a successful event.

This year was very special because after the event, Chris Babel, CEO, announced that TrustArc is the new TRUSTe. Our new name reflects our evolution from a privacy certification company into a global provider of technology powered privacy compliance and risk management solutions. We announced this change at the Privacy Risk Summit because it coincided with our 20th anniversary of delivering innovative privacy solutions.
